We have some really neat dogs available for adoption. All are love monsters full of kisses, some dogs already work cattle and can be shown on cattle , some play frisbee and ball, some just want mileage, and all of them love people and attention. We have one of the largest selection of rescue cattle dogs available in one place, Come for the day and spend time on the farm getting to know the dogs and you will surely take one home.
Hello. My name is April. I am approx. 1 to 1.5 yrs old. I am new to the rescue arriving from a Georgia kill shelter. I am cute as can be and full of so much love. My bobbed tail just moves all the time. I will watch your every move with my eyes. I take a few minutes to warm up to strangers. I like other dogs and cats. I know severel different commands: come, sit, down, leave it, kennel, up, no, leave it or off. I walk nicely on and off a leash. I am HW negative, spayed, UTD on shots and microchipped. My previous owner spent a lot of time training me but then for some reason did not come looking for me. I have been trained to work cattle but my rescue mom and dad are trying to fiqure what cues were used to train me . I love to go for mileage whether it is in the truck or on 6 wheeler. I am house broke and crate trained. I prefer to be with you 24/7. I would like nothing more then a inside farm home where I could cuddle with my new owner. Oh, I forgot to tell you I am very athletic, I can jump great heights from a standing postion, and I am fast as lighting.

Flossie -@ Peoria
Hello. My name is Flossie. I am an awesome blue female that loves attention. I am @ 1 yr of age. I want to be with people for I love everyone and I even love kids. I get along with other dogs. I would be a great companion. I am looking for that special home where I will get many kisses. I will jump into the back of a truck on command. They will check to see if I have herding ability soon. I was x-rayed by the vet and the x-ray has shown that I have an old injury to my front right shoulder/leg. Someone has shot me and I have bullet fragments in my bone. What are humans thinking ? I can have a wonder life like any other dog but later on when I get older I might need a buffered aspirin daily. Right now, I can play and I can keep up with the best of them(dogs). I have a big heart and lots of love to give.

If you are looking for a mellow family dog that the kids can play with, I am your dog. My floppy ears make me unique and just adds to my neat personality.
Being a lover of the ACD breed you can't look the other way and not help the dogs in need. Especially, the ones on death row in the local kill shelters. There are so many nice ACD's that are turned in because people can't afford to feed them, some owners don't want to take the time for them, and some are just lost. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these dogs. They were supposed to be a commitment for life.
After entering the program, our cattle dogs are fully vetted which includes spayed/neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, heartworm tested (given HW preventative) and microchipped. While awaiting adoption, most of the cattle dogs live on the farm where we attempt to evaluate their temperaments and work on teaching them basic manners. We place cattle dogs into homes best suited for that individual dog.
